Year 13 motivation

Currently studying: biology (aqa), geography (aqa) + business (Edexcel)
I really struggle with motivation, I feel like half the time I spend deciding what to focus on.
Specifically biology and geography I feel very overwhelmed and don’t even know where to start
Anyone got any tips? How do you break it down to manageable topics and how do you actually revise effectively? Thank you

I would break everything down into super small sub-sections and say, today I am going to study this. Make flashcards and revision resources (I’d recommend Gizmo) and organise them by topic, doing one a day you will quickly make process and by feeling like your on top of everything and ready to actually revise with active recall when you need to for exams. Also remind yourself why you took those subjects and why you want to succeed in and enjoy them.
